What surprised me the most through out learning about the islands, is that so many people where discriminated against. Like the native americans and chinese. I thought all you had to do was pass the tests, but if you where of a certain culture. They would still do all the tests, but your experience would not be fun. Also their living conditions where not so great. It was almost like being in prision. Their beds where made of metal and on a wall. They stuffed a lot of people in a room, so it was very uncomfortable. Something more I would like to know is like when did people start and stop coming to america? Like why did people stop coming, and where do they go now if they want to come? I found out that Ellis island was on the east side and Angel island was on the west. I never really heard much of Angel island until now, it was always Ellis island. I wonder why that is?
